I'm trying to install splash 0.7.12 as instructed in the wiki, but keep getting this error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 splash-mapper : Depends: libgsl2 but it is not installable
                 Depends: libpython3.5 (>= 3.5.0~b1) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I'm running a fresh install of ubuntu 18.04 and it has python 3.6.7.

I'm I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

  • What is splash-mapper? Where you got it?

  • It's an open source projection mapping software designed to build giant screens in the shape of domes and other topologies. github.com/paperManu/splash/wiki Aug 31, 2019 at 16:29
  • Got it from the release page of the project Aug 31, 2019 at 17:03
  • The most correct way would be to ask software developer about support of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with binary deb-package via issues page.

The binary package is not compatible with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, but you can always download and run FlatPak version as written in README:

sudo apt install flatpak
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
sudo flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform//1.6
sudo flatpak install splash.flatpak
